Goldbw122:Lol. No shaking! |
Omobola121:To be honest with you, I don't know about institutional traders, but what I know is that TA is a prerequisite for traders. About what you explained... Well, any serious minded trader who takes FA seriously, ought to know the CPI would be higher than the previous one which was at 8.6% But it was expected to increase to 8.8% or thereabouts. However, it shocked everyone and increased to 9.1%, highest in 41 years, which caused the markets to crash almost immediately the results were out. Traders are usually speculative. So what most advanced traders did before the results were out, was to short the expected negative results since the beginning of the week, which we all experienced. When the CPI numbers finally came out, the results were worse than expected, which sent the markets tumbling to new lows. The new support at 18k weathered the storm, which prompted traders to buy low, and that is why BTC is on the up once again. I expected all of these to play out...no surprises! TA is primary, while FA secondary...in my opinion though! |
Kingsteve:Who still dey doubt TA? Just like I expected, traders have swooped in to buy BTC and select altcoins on a discounted price after that drastic drop! And yeah...I opened a long in Shiba. Currently on 2.2% in profits. BTC's reaction to lower resistance within the DI timeframe will determine if I close my position or hodl for more profits. If today's high is broken, and previous higher supports holds without falling back, expect a momentum to build from here. I'll be watching closely to know when to pull out, or hodl for more gains. Image 1: Shiba Image 2: BTC Notice the long wick being left behind. That's a good sign the support is doing its job!

BREAKING: U.S. inflation reached 9.1% in June, its highest rate in nearly 41 years. After the release of that report, in seconds; BTC crashed to a lower low of 18.9k from the previous low of 19.2k This new low is hovering around the previous key support of 18.6k If this new support holds the onslaught, I expect short term buyers to buy the dip and exit at strong resistance areas. Personally, as soon as I notice some strong buying pressure, I'd go long and grab what I can. The following days will give us a clear indication where the market goes from this support.

They usually say: buy the rumour, sell the news. Are we about to see the opposite of that phrase in the markets? In this case...short the rumour ( US CPI numbers, inflation data), long the news? In another scenario, could BTC actually fall below yesterday's low/support at $19.2k when the news finally breaks? If you're a daredevil kinda trader willing to take such risks by either longing or shorting in this current turbulent market, always bear in mind it's 50/50 for now in the short term. It can either gather momentum from this price range or keep losing more support levels to the bears. Take what you can and exit...that's the message! Why do I still remain bullish in the midst of all these? From the charts, since BTC hit ATL at $17k, those levels haven't been touched since, instead, higher lows/supports have formed from that price level. From a D4 point of view, the support key price points are: 17.6k, 18.6k, and currently at 19.2k Also notice the ascending trend line, confirming those key support areas, after wicks have been left behind. Summary: TA tells me the bulls might weather the storm against all odds! We shall see... ![]()

cmoney22222:Sure... |
LadyD22:Yeah...some of my close friends call me: 'the mystic man'! ![]() |
Events play out in my mind before they happen. Not once, twice or thrice, but plenty! Hmmmm.... |
Goldbw122:Lol |
ugo41babe:No I don't |
ugo41babe:Any leveraged token ending with down, no matter the name, means the price will correlate with BTC price as it falls. So as BTC is plummeting, wait for a support in any of the leveraged tokens and open a long position. Exit when BTC hits any support. The reverse will be to exit when the leveraged token hits a resistance. In other words, its equivalent to shorting BTC Image 1 xrpdown Image 2 BTC

Siberia01:Very possible, but I haven't checked out the ones at Kucoin yet. |
Omobola121:Na so! I was very optimistic about the bulls holding on. The $20.3k to $20.2k support held on almost all day, till it was finally broken, and that was when I opened a long on Xrpdown, one of the leveraged tokens to ride with the bears. There's another support at $19.8k Let's see how far it can hold off the onslaught. Anyhow which way...we ride along! ![]() |
The bulls must not allow the bears to reign supreme, at least for today's trading session. The bulls need to maintain a higher support in preparation for the US CPI report coming out this week. If BTC maintains a higher support, which will aid in taking price upwards, then the next wave of negative FA shouldn't take a full blown hit on the price of BTC. In summary, the bulls must defend these new support areas at $20.2k/$20.3k and endeavor to regain lost grounds. The bulls have fought well, and must not give up grounds thereby taking us back to square one. Let's see how today's trading session pans out. |
coolqayy:Lol As a trader, you should be talking about percentages, not monetary value. ![]() |
XaToXi:That's it! Bull or bear no suppose stop an active trader from making money. |
XaToXi:If the bears with the help of negative FA from the US, assists in turning the D4 green candle into a red one, then the possible supports from the charts are $20,260 and $19,810, assuming this current suport at $20,751 is tested and broken. The bulls have fought a good battle to push price up this far, I hope they will be able to fight back without relinquishing lots of territories to the bears, regardless...
|
jyz200:Spot on! TA and FA without good discipline still won't function properly. TA+FA+Discipline=A good trader! |
Omobola121:Well said! Even spot trading requires lots of discipline, let alone futures. It's a no, no for me. |
Omobola121:Lol, and he even shorted. How can he be shorting when the bulls are rampaging? You only short when the balls are exhausted and buying pressure dwindling. Anyway, he will learn. All na learning curve. Omo, hope you good? |
Goldbw122:Thanks! |
Greetings! BTC has finally posted a green monthly candle. Now, that's a huge statement of intent! Also, when you check the other timeframes from W2, W1, D4 and D1, you will see all green candlesticks. What this simply implies, is that there are more willing buyers in the market, which inevitably adds to more buying pressure. For BTC shorters, this may not be the best time to be shorting, as you may likely be swallowed by the bulls. For medium to long term analysis and key price points: when and if BTC conquers and occupies all bearish territories into the $26k region, expect a fierce resistance at around $26,600 or thereabouts. That price point around the resistance is very crucial for the recovery of BTC. If broken and flipped to support, BTC's next target will be around the region of $31-$32k where it faces another stiff resistance. BTC has a lot of resistance to break before we see a full blown recovery! In the time being, I expect day traders to continue taking advantage of this bull rally, and keep taking profits at resistance levels, while opening new ones at support levels after the pullback. Do I see BTC dipping back to $18k territory? Now, that answer depends solely on FA. If FA isn't kind to BTC, a drop to the $19k region is very possible, but from the charts, I think the bulls are ready to defend any onslaught from the bears, no matter how negative the FA We shall see... Below is a monthly BTC chart showing the green candle. Disregard those numerous horizontal lines, as they simply act as guides to key price points in lower time frames.

Hmmm... Interesting! E be like say na the category of yellow crypto boys I fall into. All I do is trade, trade and more trade! ![]() |
renminbiyuan:This is for long term investors, definitely not for day traders! Even in this present BTC price cycle, medium term investors would profit immensely. |
What a pump! So after yesterday's BTC pump which hit intraday high of $22,527.37, it was inevitable that the next move will be a retracement. Looking at the charts, the potential supports are $21,199, $20,934, $20,741 and $20,260 All these depends on the magnitude of profit taking, shorting and key FA from the US later on today. It is expected that some of you made the most of yesterday's pump...I did! Spot traders do not have the luxury of shorting, but with leveraged tokens, spot traders can still short by opening long positions on tokens such as BTCdown, BNBDown, ETHdown and so on. So, like I always preach on here, price fluctuations are your friend if you know how to... What I did was open a long position on BNBdown, which works in tandem with BTC, especially when BTC price is falling. For the fact BTC hit a resistance at $22,527, the natural thing was to short from that resistance, and this is exactly what I've done, so that I can take advantage of price fluctuations, no matter the direction. I'll be paying close attention on those key support areas, to know when a reversal is about to form, so that I can close my long position on BNBdown. #CryptoTrading101

R2bees2:Na so! |
Siberia01:If FA is anything to go by presently, prices should still be on the decline. Macroeconomics hasn't been so kind to BTC and the general stock market. July 4th, the stock markets were closed, no major fundamentals, yet BTC still rallied. My point is...for now, TA has a major say than the FA! Traders are obeying and respecting key price points for entry and exits! All protocols must be observed! |
R2bees2:That's wishful thinking ooo. But fingers crossed, I hope it does. Look at the chart below, and see the numerous resistance levels BTC has to break before reaching $22k BTC has to post a strong long green candle at one go, to stand chances of hitting $22k soon. In other words, it has to be seriously pumped!

Misturman:At least we both agree on the 1.5% debate. Thanks for seconding that fact! On the issue of crypto trading being gambling, I beg to differ! It's also like saying that trading on stock markets is gambling. To me, gambling is anything one doesn't have the power to manage or control the risks, when an event doesn't go according to plan. For the mere fact one can control and manage risks in crypto trading, takes away that element of gambling. For instance in football betting, when an event goes wrong, you lose your total stake. In trading, when prices fall below your entry point, you either cut your losses, or wait for a reversal in price, depending on signals from the indicators. On futures, for the mere fact that they are leveraged and borrowed funds, increases the risks and adds more element of gambling to it, and again; liquidation has ruined so many futures traders. This is unlike in spot trading. The main reason people flock to futures is because of the lure to double or tripple their profits, with small margin requirements...that right there, is the element of gambling. |
Chikacha:Your mind is already made up about me, together with like-minded people like you on here, but then again...I owe no one any explanations. My happiness is that a few people on here are taking positives from the little I've shared on here, and that is the difference between naysayers/cynics who will never see any good in someone's efforts, and the idealists, who extract vital info. While some are busy asking for trade history, others are working with what they already see me preach, and are improving on their trades, and most importantly, understanding how the trading game works! If at the end of the day, I manage to impart my knowledge on just one person out of the numerous cynics, I will be happy that someone benefited from my trading knowledge and experience. So my dear, feel free to think of me what you wish. It makes no difference. Let those who are serious-minded continue to do so, while the doubters continue to doubt. It's a choice! But remember, the theme of my teachings and preaching is that a bear market shouldn't stop an active trader from making money. Price fluctuations are your friend, only if you know how to take advantage. Thank you! |
Tsfari:Lol |



and I don't know why.
In life, I have learned one thing. It will always be difficult to reap where another man has sewn. Always.
